Chiropractic Care
Our Adjusting Techniques
We have a variety of techniques that we utilize. The traditional Gonstead technique is a staple in chiropractic offices around the world. The Thompson table utilizes a drop mechanism making the adjustment less forceful. We also use the Activator and a newer lesser force technique called the Impulse instrument that Dr. Wright is very excited about.
It is based on new research from Australia and Holland and uses an adjusting instrument that uses very quick light thrusts to the spine. It uses very light and quick thrusts and patients that may not like or respond to traditional adjustments…..really favor this new adjusting instrument. It is excellent for the elderly and very young where the traditional adjustment may not be indicated. We will use the technique that works the best for you, the patient.
